It doesn't match on partials unless you use special selector symbols.
The reason your element is matched is because the class "myDiv" on your div
matches the $(".myDiv") part of your selector. It is not because of the
partial match. When you do a comma delimited list as a selector, an element
matching anything in the list will be retrieved. So your selector ".myDiv,
#my" would match any elements with the id "my" OR the class "myDiv".
If you just want to search for the id you'd do this:
$("#myID")

Hi jQuery people,
I just found out that jQuery can match on partials,.. is this correct?
and if so how do I make it match on the whole text.
i.e.
<div id="myID" class="myDiv" />
doing a $(".myDiv, #my") will actually match the above tag! is this correct?
if so how do I force it to match the whole "myID" instead of partials?
regards,
Peter
